Testimonials
‘The trip Outback was a changing point in my life. It was just a taste of the adventures I can look forward to in the future.’

‘Not only the photo opportunities, but the wonderful characters we met, like Jimmy and Dusty and Don and Wolfie and Neale and John & Judy and Tarpot and Lester, during the outback tour were all made possible because of you and I think that’s what enriched the tour for me. Once again, thank you.’

‘A big thank you for planning this wonderful trip away. I’d never been to Cambodia and this trip ticked all my boxes. Thank you for a wonderful, intimate experience.’

‘I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. (Fraser Island) It was an excellent way to see varied aspects of the island, without the hassle of driving, and with two knowledgeable guides who maximised the photographic opportunities and gave good advice on how to improve my photography. I particularly appreciated the fact that we had plenty of time at each location to experiment with different angles, subject matter and camera settings. It was a bonus to have comfortable accommodation and good food and friendship along the way.’

‘Thank you Danielle. I had a memorable holiday and a wonderful experience, both in practice and theory. I not only learnt so much about my camera, but more so, about the world around me.
I certainly do see things in a different light  when I look through that lens now.’

‘I now have a greater knowledge of my camera etc. and what it can do, and the confidence to try various things.  The tutors were splendid, with their knowledge extensive and ability to explain things clearly to a ‘hobby’ photographer like me.’

‘The Outback Odyssey tour far surpassed any expectations I had. From a travelling perspective the bus was comfy, the rooms were lovely, people were great and food fantastic. I learned so much and gained plenty of confidence in my own photography and I have come away not just with new knowledge, skills and photographs but also with a wonderful experience and plenty of stories to tell people. I would recommend this tour for anyone and everyone – you will be amazed at how fantastic this tour is’.
